“…The desorption rate of both the superabsorbent is close together. The ion diameters are 2.42, 1.34, 1.44, 1.26, 1.60, 1.40, and 1.82 Å for Pb 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ , Zn 2+ , and Cd 2+ , respectively [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. The ion diameters (Å) of hydrated metal ions in aqueous solution are 1.20, 0.715, 0.62, 0.65, 0.86, 0.74, and 0.96 Å for Pb 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ , Zn 2+ , and Cd 2+ , respectively [ 46 ].…”
